My daughter

Kylie just had sinus surgery on Dec. 27th and she also had her tonsils taken out. Her recovery has been really rocky. It's 4 days post surgery now and she is still in SEVERE pain. The pain is mostly coming from the tonsilectomy and the complication of a bad case of thrush in her mouth. I figured out yesterday that it was thrush, tried to get her into the doctor in the early morning, went through voice mail hell with the docs office, found out he's not even there this week, then finally talked to a nurse. I convinced her that it was indeed thrush so we didn't have to take Kylie in, the nurse just called in a prescription for Nystatin liquid. Kylie is still in so much pain that I'm really glad that she didn't have to go anywhere in the car. I got the scrip, the thrush is better today, but she is still in severe pain. We got a third bottle of liquid hydrocodone filled this evening for her, so we are covered over the New Year's Eve and New Year's day when all doctors are closed.

I've been staying up until 2am every night with her so my bipolar is suffering pretty bad from the "off" schedule.

All of this comes after just helping my mom through thyroid surgery on Dec 4th. I've been to 26 doctor appointments since October 1st, 2008. Very few of those were for me. Most were for both mom and Kylie. I'm tired and frustrated.

I don't complain all the time, just had to get my "venting" out and here's is where I wanted to do it. So thank you gentle reader for following along this far.

New Direction

Ok I'm taking this blog in a new direction. It originally started as just a weight loss blog, but there is so much more to my life that entertwines with my ability to lose weight and live healthily. (is that a word?) I am bipolar and I just went through a med change. I am married to a great guy. I am a primary caregiver to my 77 year old mother, who I'm not fond of. I have a beautiful 18 year old daughter who has health problems and just went through surgery.

I have interests that I like to talk about but haven't hardly had a chance to even think about lately because of all the caregiving I do for others.

Just lots of things, so Cheyenne Moon Blog is now a real blog. I'm not the best writer but I am a real person in this real life that I'm living so here we go.........
